Scattered Images in My Mind
At first glimpse
FOLLOW ME...
Forget
Winter's grey skies,
biting winds and heavy rains.
Spring descends.
It brings its warmth and colour
hiding the red and rusting rocks
as a sea of yellow flowers
envelopes the landscape
and us
Thick and sticky
the pollen clings to you
just like me
it is all too hard to resist...
Laying down
amongst it all
The gentle warmth
of your breath...
a cloudless sky
Only the sound of birds
and YOU on my skin
The perfect spring day
until the night comes
again...
The night
takes us back
to the heart of human darkness
The hypnotic, gripping and disturbing
world of the TV news
while we eat take aways
getting ready for work
and recreate in our dreams
The memories of our perfect spring day
are gone...
LET'S RECLAIM OUR PERFECT SPRING DAY ...
Let's start the journey back again...
Let's wake up the inner child
within me...
be out in the wind,
feeling the crushing waves
on my face
Swimming in the ocean
Sitting in the sun
I am who I am
A girl or a woman
or a dying star...
I live in the past
but as I look at my son
and I know it is time
to leave beauty,
with sorrow
To leave everything behind...
Let's move on
Let's prepare for a journey
into the unknown
When my time draws to a close,
what will be?
What will I regret leaving most?
LET'S MOVE ON
Let's move on
Let's prepare for a journey
into the unknown
When my time draws
to a close,
what will be?
What will I regret leaving most?
Love, relationship with my man
Spiritual connections
with my friends?
Does everything end up
out in the wind,
under the stars,
on the face on the moon?
Everything ends up
My life,
my ups and downs
All my frustration
My exhilaration
All my emotions
I need so much
to report about
I am after all
a reporter of the human condition,
in all its variations
Adding words to art
in the space of a sentence,
I describe my loves
I describe my life.
